...genteel Cape Province town of Grahamstown, 58 Negroes were jailed for walking in the streets after curfew (11 p.m.). In Pretoria, 20 singing Negroes and one Indian were arrested for marching into the "white" section of the railway station.

...Spasm of Pride. Humming with pain, Pacote goes back into the ring to fight his farewell bull. But the picador and banderilleros have not only slowed the animal (as they are supposed to), but stopped him. The bull refuses to follow the cape.
